I am pleased to say that I have met all the deadlines to get Shell Shocked Britain to publishers Pen & Sword and printed for October this year. Good thing too, as I already have a number of talks lined up for the autumn, including the wonderful War & Words programme recently revealed by Surrey Libraries.

I am really excited, and not a little nervous, as the weeks fly by and the publication date approaches. All that research and writing up and then editing - the final result will all be between the covers of a hardback book in a few months time. Proof reading and indexing are upon me and the captions and images done but then the marketing really gets going. Exciting times!
